The San Diego Padres are close to a deal with free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham, according to Bob Nightengale. The expectation is that it'll be a cheap one-year contract. The Padres could use the help in the outfield as this team does lack depth there. Currently, Jurickson Profar is penciled in as the everyday left fielder. The move to get Pham could give the Padres additional options for platoon type situations. Last season, Pham hit .256/.328/.446 with 16 home runs and 68 RBI in 129 games between the New York Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks. There probably won't be a ton of fantasy value from Pham, but it depends on his role.
The San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates are both eyeing free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham. Pham is one of the top names remaining on the open market after he split the 2023 season between the Mets and Diamondbacks. He was productive in doing so, hitting .256 with 16 home runs and 22 stolen bases across 129 games and 481 trips to the plate. Pham has long displayed a quality combination of power and speed, slugging 130 homers and stealing 119 bases across 1,005 big-league contests. Regardless of his landing spot, he is worth a strong look as a mid-round pick in fantasy baseball as he has also been able to use his speed to score plenty of runs in his career while he also sports a healthy 11.6% career walk rate.
The Boston Red Sox are interested in a reunion with free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman. The Red Sox could use some more offense heading into the 2024 season. Pham spent part of the 2022 season with the Red Sox, hitting .234 (50-for-214) with six home runs and 24 RBI in 53 games. The 35-year-old veteran was better last year between the New York Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks and had some crucial hits in Arizona's unlikely run to the World Series. He finished the 2023 campaign with a .256/.328/.446 slash line, 16 home runs, 68 RBI, 22 stolen bases and 55 runs scored in 129 regular-season games. Pham still has something left in the tank, although he won't be a lock to return to the 20-steal mark, especially if he lands with a team where he's platooning in the outfield.
